I think you may have missed the point.  I don't *want* static IPs and I'm
trying to find a way to get a stubborn Linux box to stop insisting it has
one.

Good idea.

care.

Yes, both Windows and Linux use the domain name (or network group) tartarus.
I kept them the same to make sure SAMBA would play nicely, and *that* does
work.

Kind regards,

Julian
